Translate supported document structure into Markdown

Paste formatted content into Rich Text mode or provide markup in HTML Source mode. The converter maps supported headings, emphasis, links, images, lists, blockquotes, code, tables and strikethrough into Markdown. The formats are not equivalent: custom styling, scripts, interactive elements, precise spacing and complex table structure can be simplified or discarded, so review the output before publishing.

Move content into wikis, notes and static sites

  • Move an article into a Markdown wiki, README or static site
  • Prepare content from a webpage or document for a note-taking app
  • Turn supported HTML structure into editable plain-text Markdown
  • Convert a simple copied table into Markdown table syntax

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Rich Text and HTML Source mode?
Rich Text mode receives the formatted clipboard content exposed by the browser. HTML Source mode parses markup that you paste as text. Clipboard behavior varies by source application, so the same document may produce different input in each mode.
Will tables convert correctly?
Simple rectangular tables can become GitHub-Flavored Markdown. Merged cells, nested content, multiple header rows and other complex structures have no faithful standard equivalent and may need manual rebuilding. Renderer support also varies.
What happens to images and complex formatting?
Images become Markdown references to available source URLs; embedded or protected sources may not remain usable elsewhere. Styling without a Markdown equivalent, including fonts, colors and exact spacing, is dropped.
Is my content uploaded to a server?
No. JavaScript performs the conversion locally in your browser.
